Dead frogs are a recurrent theme for these clowns.
See
8-K Filed 04/25/03
“Processes are an ever-changing thing. It is said that if you throw a frog into
a pan of boiling water he or she will immediately jump out having been shocked
by the water temperature. Throw a frog in a pan of room-temperature water and
turn on the heat and they say that the cold-blooded frog will linger in that pan
and slowly cook to death – the dead frog being unable to detect the subtle
changes in temperature in the water.

Now we want to make it clear that we have never seen any of this and so we can
say that no frogs were harmed in the production of this Form 8-K, but if it is
true then processes are certainly somewhat like frogs.”

Never miss a EXPD 8-k. Honest and straightforward management teams are hard to find and when you find them, never miss a word.

What a rather unique phrase for a filing. Dead Frogs may be a sensitive subject to these expediters

Thanks @TED. Wasn’t aware that EXPD was known for their quirky filings, but they’ve certainly caught my attention now.

Expeditors is famous for its 8-Ks. They love to be provocative, controversial, and just plain weird. A good example of a public company with permanent equity capital that behaves like a private company. They have always viewed their disclosure requirements with disdain.
